Watch: Elderly TTE bravely stands up to officers of UP Police travelling without ticket in train, video goes viral

Policemen are meant to protect civilians from harm and help them abide by the law. While a majority of policemen do that, there are a few exceptions who take undue advantage of their position without any consequences. We have come across many videos on social media that show some policemen taking undue advantage of their position. 

One such video is currently going viral on social media that shows 2 policemen fighting with a TTE (Travel Ticket Examiner). But, what is heartwarming is how the TTE takes a stand for himself and continues to do his job even after being threatened by the police.

In the video, the policemen can be seen travelling without a ticket, the TTE stops them from doing so. As the TTE is doing his job, the policemen try to harass him by abusing him as other passengers look on. 

The policemen can also seem to question the TTE if the train "belongs to his father" to which the TTE bravely stands up to them saying, "I am doing my duty. This train does not belong to your father either." Looking at the video it seems like the policemen were intimidating reserved passengers to share space.
